Hadith 18943

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ بُدْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِمَا عَطِبَ مِنَ الْبُدْنِ ؟ قَالَ : " انْحَرْهُ ، وَاغْمِسْ نَعْلَهُ فِي دَمِهِ ، وَاضْرِبْ صَفْحَتَهُ ، وَخَلِّ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَبَيْنَهُ ، فَلْيَأْكُلُوهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Najiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was responsible for the camels of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) that I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) what should I do if a sacrificial camel is about to die? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Slaughter it, dip its sandal in its blood and rub it on its forehead, and leave it for the people so that they may eat it.
